Agriculture is the process of producing food, feed, fiber and m any other
products by the cultivation of certain plants and the raising of domesticated
animals. The practice of agriculture is also known as “farming’'. Scientists,
inventors and others have devoted to improving farming methods and implements.
More people in the worid are involved in agriculture as their primary economic
activity than in any other, yet it only accounts for four percent of the world’s GDP
(Gross Domestic Product): Agriculture sometim es refers to subsis tence
agriculture, the production of enough food to meet just the needs of a farmer and
his family. It may also refer to industrial agriculture, (often reffered to as factory
farming) long prevalent in developed nations, which consists of obtaining
financial income from the cultivation of land to yield products, the commercial
raising of animals, or both. Agriculture is also short for the study of the practice
of agriculture— more formally known as agricultural science. Increasingly, in
addition to food for humans and animal feeds, agriculture produces goods such as
flowers, nursery plants, timber or lumber, fertilizers animal hides, leather,
industrial chcmicais (such as starch, sugar, ethanol, alcoh ols, and plastics ) ,
fibers, fuel, and both legal and illegal drugs (biopharmaceuticals, tobacco,
marijuana, opium, cocaine). Genetically engineerod plants and anim als produce
specialty drugs.

Read the p assage carefully and choose the correct answ er.
Crop rotation is the practice of growing different types of crops ,in the same
field in sequential seasons to avoid a decrease in soil fertility, as growing the
same crop repeatedly in the same place eventually depletes the soil of various
nutrients. Crop rotation helps to balance the fertility demands of various crops.
By crop rotation farmers can keep their fields under continuous production,
without the need to let them lie fallow, and reducing the need for artificial
fertilizers, both of which can be expensive. In subsistence farming, it also
makes good nutritional sense to grow beans and grain at the same time in
different fields. Crop rotation is also used to control pests and diseases that can
become established in the soil over time. Plants within the same family tend to
have sim ilar pests and pathogens. By regularly changing the planting location,
7
the pest cycles can be broken or limited. This principle is of particular use in
organic farming, where pest control may be achieved without synthetic
pesticides. The choice and sequence of rotation crops depends on the nature of
the soil, the climate, and precipitation which together determine the type of
plants that may be cultivated. Other important aspects of farming such as crop
marketing and economic variables must also be considered when choosing a crop
rotation. Crop rotation was already mentioned in the Roman literature, and
referred to by great civilizations in Africa and Asia. From the end of the Middle
Ages until the 20th century, the three-year rotation was practised by farmers in
Europe.

Read the p assage carefully and choose the correct answer.
In 1970, N orman Borlaug won a Nobel Prize for his work in the Green
Revolution in agriculture. The Greon Revolution is an agricultural plan which has
been developed as part of the effort to transfer agricultural technology to less
agriculturally advanced areas. In his research, Norman developed high- yielding
varieties of wheat which have made the amount of wheat increase
significantly. In addition to his research on wheat, he and his colleagues also
developed high-yielding varieties of other grains, such as rice and corn.
Everybody agrees that there is always a need to produce more food for the
growing human population. It seems that the Green Revolution could end hunger
12
and ensure an adequate supply of food far into the future. Hower , not all farmers
can get benefits from the Green Revolution. Two important parts of the plan are
irrigation and the application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides at certain
Limes during the growth cycle. Because the plan requires irrigation of crops, that
means digging a well. The poor farmers are not rich enough to afford a well,
fertilizers, and pesticides as the plan requires. Moreover, if their wealthy
neighbors apply the plan, they produce more grain to sell, get more money to buy
machinery. And the machinery, in turn, helps them to get more grains and
money. The poorer farmers cannot compete with their neighbors and their
economic situation will become worse. Some of themn even give up their land.

Last year 1 went to Nepal for three months to York in a hospital. When the
hospital let me have a few days' holiday, 1 decided to go into the jungle and I asked a
Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with me. In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but
we were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. We climbed onto the elephants' backs to
get better view, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the
heat o the day. Then, in the distance, we saw a tiger, and Kamal told me to be very quiet.
We crept nearer and found a dead deer. still bleeding. This was the tiger's lunch!
Suddenly. I started to feel very frightened.
We heard the tiger a second before we saw it. It jumped out like a flash of
lightning, five hundred kilos plus and four. meters long. I looked into its eyes and face,
and saw right down the animal's throat. It grabbed Kornal's between its teeth, but I
managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back
into the grass, so we quickly escaped to let the tiger cat its lunch. That night it was
impossible to sleep!
